Ranking refinement and its application to information retrieval
We consider the problem of ranking refinement, i.e., to improve the accuracy of an existing ranking function with a small set of labeled instances. We are, particularly, intereste...

Two new regularized AdaBoost algorithms
AdaBoost rarely suffers from overfitting problems in low noise data cases. However, recent studies with highly noisy patterns clearly showed that overfitting can occur. A natural s...

Learning Label Preferences: Ranking Error Versus Position Error
We consider the problem of learning a ranking function, that is a mapping from instances to rankings over a finite number of labels. Our learning method, referred to as ranking by...

A General Boosting Method and its Application to Learning Ranking Functions for Web Search
We present a general boosting method extending functional gradient boosting to optimize complex loss functions that are encountered in many machine learning problems. Our approach...

Active learning for Hidden Markov Models: objective functions and algorithms
Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) model sequential data in many fields such as text/speech processing and biosignal analysis. Active learning algorithms learn faster and/or better by cl...
